Annenigma Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi, I have searched through various topics but don't find anything that deals with this: I have an iPad pro running Affinity Designer with absolutely no trouble at all. Flawless function. EXCEPT when I want to access my camera roll. There is nothing there. I looked in iPad settings and AD has not requested permission to access photos... I've reinstalled app and everything. No change. Still no way to get the app to see my pics. Please help? Thanks a million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi @Annenigma What does happen? Sorry if you have already done the following --- If I press the + on the Home screen to open a file, then tap Import from Photos, I get this If you see nothing, go to the iPad home screen and check the Settings app and scroll down on the left until you find Designer Is Photos set to Read and Write ?

Annenigma Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Designer has not requested access and has never asked for access either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff DWright Posted November 22, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 22, 2018 Is it possible to take a screen recording of this as when I reinstalled Designer on my iPad running iOS 12.1 I was asked to allow access to Photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mudditt Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 If you have tried resetting your iPad by pressing and holding both the home key and power button until you see the Apple logo, and that didn’t work, then my next suggestion would be to reset your settings. You will lose Wi-fi passwords and wallpaper changes so make sure you know what they are but you won’t lose any data. When you go into Affinity you should now be asked if you want to grant it permission to access your photos.
